RE: Central NEW YORK boaters
Messing around with my Zippkit 21 rigger. Easy boat to launch for sure!! The engine got hot when the water line came off. It was close to 90 degrees that day. :) I fixed the water line with a tie strap, but my camera lady went back to the house. :( I would have loved to show you guys how hard I hit bouy six the third time out. The second time out was a perfect run.

RE: Central NEW YORK boaters
ORIGINAL: advanced builder I got to see the videos thanks Tom and good luck. This week. I went to the lake and I got some very good runs in my gas Vee The hull is ready. One of my water outlets moved and was aimed right at the carb. Yup a blown ring or rod. I haven't looked yet. I did get the feel of the hull before the blown whatever. I better learn how a QD works . I was ready to race ,now back to a rebuild. I'm peed The gas rigger will have to wait. I can run my .45 rigger in open rigger. She's ready to test. I still want to go back to the 3 rd channel. Someday. Edit: See you are coming Sunday. Edit again: My newly modded K30S is suppose to arrive Tomorrow! :D Edit yet again: The weekend's weather is looking allot better now.... [8D] |

RE: Central NEW YORK boaters
I will be at the pond this weekend. I have motel reservations anyway...
We lost our machine operator and I just figured that I would be at that machine all weekend, but it turned out okay. This test session is very important for us... See you in the morning around 10:00-10:30. |

RE: Central NEW YORK boaters
ROGER, you're gonna need to get one of the Zippkit O/B riggers! It's a blast to drive!! :)
Joe brought a transit and we serveyed the perimeter of Stony Pond. The next time we dig, we'll be able to get everything more square. The north/west corner needs to be lengthened about 35 feet to get the north side 90 degrees to the front chute. You could not see this without the help of a transit. The south end is already pretty close to 90 degrees. |
RE: Central NEW YORK boaters
Craig, Make sure you add bolts and nuts to the .45 turnfin. Like the gas rigger. I never got much run time on the nice fin. But I do have a .21 Zippkit rigger fin to use. The hull was a rocket. We all got a some good testing in. Prop swapping really helped. Thanks Guys. The last Prop I tested from Joe made the hull fell very twitchy. I was fast but too much grabbing I think. We all learn from each other today.Good testing session. I will run this next race open mono with the QD but I kinda like running in the gas mono. I never realized I was Illegal. Head button??? I may switch engines later. The QD in the gas rigger will work fine. I ran my first outboard, COOL.

RE: Central NEW YORK boaters
yup Neil QD's are not LSG legal you can only run them in Open classes.
got to read the rules it's all in there.:D see you guys Friday in Elmira should be there for about 12 - 1pm |

I can swap engines in a flash. Throttle linkage needs fixing-cable/4/40 solid. But new testing needs to happen. I may run a .45 in open hydro. See you Luc Bob lost his .18 rod in the little rigger class. We messed all day breaking in a NIB engine. They are fussy, until broken in. |
RE: Central NEW YORK boaters
Would you rather be like me, I've got two NIB CMB 67s, one NIB CMB 45HR, one rebuilt K&B 45 and two NIB K&B 67s to break in. Now I just have to get the hulls all finished for all those engines as well as for two used OS 46s and two used OPS 45s[X(]
The good part is I've got decals ordered for two scale boats, a cowl for one in hand for one of them that's under construction, plans or kits for the rest but no hardware, enough receivers or time to really work on them[:@] |

There are some of the guys that race in NAMBA D-8 that race them but, as for how many, don't really know

RE: Central NEW YORK boaters
Craig, I have had a PT Sport 20 under construction for about a year I think they would be as much fun as the tunnels on a Thursday night! I've been a bit stymied by the front radio box that has very little room in it. Some guys put three serveos in there and I am having trouble placing two and getting a good alignment to the rudder. Also the rudder is a 'mile away' and it looks like many guys use carbon rod with threaded 2-56 or 4-40 rod ends glued in to actuate the rudder. I also need to either buy a small hydro strut (that pierces the bottom) or make one from brass like you do. Roger
